U.S. FDA Renews DILIsym® Software Licenses for 7th Year

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, April 4, 2024

Dr. Paul B. Watkins, chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the DILI-sim Initiative, said, “It is now known what properties to avoid to minimize liver toxicity in a new drug candidate -- but these same properties are often necessary to have therapeutic efficacy. By predicting safe dosing regimens of such drugs, DILIsym is now enabling successful development of important therapies that might otherwise be abandoned.”

Key Points: 
  • DILIsym is the industry gold standard for quantitative systems toxicology (QST) software designed for the prediction and investigation of drug-induced liver injury (DILI).
  • The one-year renewal provides the FDA with continued access to the DILIsym platform for authorized employees across all FDA divisions.
  • It also allows the FDA to evaluate the potential DILI risk across multiple populations, which supports informed decision-making regarding drug approvals.
  • Companies interested in a free trial version of the DILIsym software can request it here .

Researchers Use the Simulations Plus DILIsym® Platform to Predict Safety of Combined CBD and VPA Treatment

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, August 15, 2023

CBD is an FDA-approved treatment for seizures in patients diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis complex.

Key Points: 
  • CBD is an FDA-approved treatment for seizures in patients diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis complex.
  • During the pre-approval clinical trials, treatment with CBD was occasionally associated with elevation in blood levels of ALT, a marker of liver injury, but this was much more common in patients already receiving treatment with VPA for seizures.
  • To identify potential underlying mechanisms, researchers used DILIsym to predict ALT levels in simulated populations that were treated with CBD alone, treated with VPA alone, and then treated with VPA before they were treated with CBD.
  • DILIsym predicted dose-dependent ALT elevations for CBD treatment and ALT elevations for VPA treatment when each was given alone, but the combined VPA and CBD treatment protocol mimicking the clinical trials did not increase the incidence of ALT elevations relative to CBD treatment on its own.
